Chestnut help in operation beach clean pages 34

litter making its way into the ocean and harming the precious wildlife.

We are hoping to make the Team Chestnut Beach Clean a regular event and extend the invite to our guests in the future. In an ideal world there will be no litter to collect, but until that is a reality Chestnut will do its bit to protect our wonderful environment. The moral of the story is don’t leave it, bin it.

At Chestnut we are working hard to understand our environmental impact and implement changes that will enable us to operate more efficiently for both our people and our planet.

Guests can expect to start seeing examples of this commitment. We have consciously collated a core drinks list across all of our pubs and inns that consists of sustainable and local wines, beers, and spirits. Our menus are and always will be centred around our region’s finest seasonal and local produce. This means lower food miles and supporting local suppliers – win win! We are encouraging our teams to conserve energy where they can, and we will be taking steps to reduce single-use plastic consumption too.

We want to celebrate the small steps, the seemingly insignificant changes we can make to reduce waste and energy consumption. For our team that might look like turning lights off when and where possible or cycling to work. For our guests that could mean anything from enjoying a different tipple to your usual selected from our sustainable drinks list or taking your leftovers home with you to enjoy the next day.

We hope our guests will share in our efforts to become more climate conscious.
